Think about the way you expected things to be and how you felt when things didn’t turn out the way, well, the way you expected. My stream of thoughts on this “phenomena”:
We expect things (like relationships, events, daily activities and everything else in between) to be perfect, as planned, as if our plans are set out in stone. And when things run their natural course (which is never perfect by the way, ups and downs are always there), we get frustrated and angry. Why so much perfectionism to begin with?
And thus my war against perfectionism continues. Excellence, though, is a virtue and I am all for it.
